VideoArt : The imagination - Six degrees of separation
"If you want my defense, all you have to do is read... Catcher in the Rye."
This video art is about one of the great tragedies of our times - the death of the imagination.
The imagination has been so debased that imagination... being imaginative, rather than being the linchpin of our existence, now stands as a synonym for something outside ourselves.
The imagination has moved out of the realm of being our link, our most personal link, with our inner lives and the world outside that world, this world we share.
